Amplitude Failing My Mobile Website

We are a startup with a mobile website (a react app) and we have observed that the website fails to load for a sizeable chunk (not all) of our users whenever we enable amplitude. On disabling amplitude we see the issue gets resolved. Will appreciate any community inputs/help on the same :)

Hi all, I know it’s possible to calculate rolling averages and rolling windows using formulas, but has anyone come up with a formula for calculating a rolling median? Something like FREQPERCENTILE(A, .5), but applied over various durations. — Matt

Connecting Amplitude App to Shopify Plus not working

Hi there! I’ve been trying for months to connect Amplitude to my Shopify Plus account. The first time I tried it says that I needed to have a billing account in Australia or other countries (nevertheless the person I spoke with at Amplitude said that it did work in Spain). I’ve tried again now but it now says that Amplitude is not published in the Shopify’s App Store. Hope someone can help me?Cheers!

How to differentiate between Mobile Web and Desktop Web (and Tablet as a bonus)

Hi all, Is there an equivalent of Google Analytics Device Category in Amplitude? Here’s a post about how GA does it.I’m looking to segment our Web platform events and user properties further by Mobile vs Desktop (and Tablet as a bonus). Here's some Amplitude community topics, that I've found so far, and I think it requires segmenting by a combination of OS and Device type, but I can’t find a clean way of doing it. Many thanks in advance.

My "Avg Session Length" visualization is empty

Hi, The “How long is the average session?” visualisation from my User Activity dashboard doesn’t show any data (all users, last 30 days). I got events from users in other dashboards. Any idea why this might be the case? Thanks

Percentage of accounts who have greater than x users performing an event.

We are trying to move out metrics to be more account based following getting the accounts add on. Many of the metrics we want to measure are structure like % of firms who have at least X users performing Y action. How can we build something like that?

Segmentation on array values

Hi, I have an array event property with file sizes. So the size of multiple files. I now want to segment on files between a certain size. Given there are multiple possible in the even property, I was wondering how the logic works. This is how I do it just now: Are values summed up for comparison, does it match every individual file? Does it matach an event twice if 2 array elements match the criteria?

New User event - limited by another event

Hello, I’m trying to figure out how to make “What percent of active users are returning” chart right. We’re receiving lot’s of different events in our Amplitude project but for the purpose of this chart we only rely on 1 event, let’s call it EventA.So, the “New User” event in our case is EventA fired by a previously unknown user. And for the “Any active event” we simply use the same EventA. Can you please suggest how to configure the event segmentation chart to reflect this requirements?Vlad

Visualizing single metric instead of a chart

Hey!I’m relatively new to Amplitude so maybe I’m being a bit daft, I’m trying to add some “tiles” to a dashboard, with a single number, e.g.:It seems I’m only able to create charts when I click on analysis. I love the powerful features, but also want to have a simplified at a glance view of things. Thanks,Ricardo

What does "within" mean in event segment?

Hi, I read about within on the document, but I couldn’t understand what does it mean exactly. https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/231881448#h_6dc4d38a-83a9-4e46-a992-c8d51fe2d9b6 Within. Looks at events fired within each cohort member's X days of first use. This is useful when you're interested in the group of users who fired a specific event within X days of becoming a new user. Given events:date user_id event 2021-05-01 1 Purchase Song or Video 2021-05-02 1 Play Song or Video The user_id 1 is picked by the below condition. Right? Can I get some more detailed explanations for the “within”?

What's the fastest way to search?

I’m trying to find the fastest loading webpage in Amplitude that I can bookmark if I know I want to perform a search and want to get a search bar asap. Is there a way to bookmark the “Advanced Search” functionality? The webpage google.com is a good example of quick access to search 😀. In less than half a second, a search bar appears and the cursor already in the search field.

Excluding 'Start' and 'End Session' Events from "Any event" in Segmentation

Hello Community,I'm currently engaged in a user segmentation project where I'm utilizing a range of events, each tagged with a custom property. This custom property is crucial for my analysis as it enables me to group users effectively. However, I'm encountering a specific challenge: the 'Start Session' and 'End Session' events in do not carry this custom property.As a result, when I try to group by this custom property, these two events ('Start Session' and 'End Session') are showing up as 'None' (Every events other than those two have these property), which is skewing my analysis. I need to filter out these events from an 'Any Event' chart to focus solely on the events that include the custom property.Could anyone provide guidance or share insights on how to exclude 'Start' and 'End Session' events in such a scenario? Are there particular query modifications or filtering techniques that can be applied to omit these events from the analysis while grouping by the custom property?I'd gr

Max parameter data size for an event

Hi guys, we’d like to know what is the maximum character length is for the parameters we attach to an event? We’d like to use this info to limit the amount of chars on the frontend to a sensible length. Couldn’t find this info in the documentation nor in public headers, so it might be prudent to add it there as well.

How to plot the evolution of mean aggregated event count on user timeline

Hello, I’m new to amplitude and I’m trying to recreate a plot we made with our legacy custom analytics scripts: we’re interested in how often users performed a specific event on average (= y-axis), grouped by how many days ago the users signed up (= x-axis). With this, we want to see how the typical user lifetime looks: how many days after signup do they start doing something (on average), how many days after signup do they stop doing something, etc. Is there a way to build such a chart in amplitude?Problem with Segmentation tool is that it just counts events grouped by calendar dates. I couldn’t find a way to make it group event counts with respect to the user’s timeline (days after signup).I also managed to get a histogram of event counts, but I was unable to plot the time evolution of average event count, grouped by days after the user’s signup event. Is there a way to do this in amplitude? Thanks in advance! :)

How to Create Dynamic Cohorts Based on Stickiness

Hi everybody!TL;DR: This guide explains how we solved our use case of needing dynamic cohorts based on stickiness. The solution involves combining derived properties and distinct values of property option for counting events in a cohort definition. At my workplace, we use stickiness to classify user engagement levels (e.g., a casual user is someone who uses the product for one week in a month, and a power user is someone who uses the product for three or more weeks in a month). We've been struggling to incorporate stickiness-based engagement into our dynamic cohorts, which are essential for our analytics.Recently, we found a good enough solution to our use case by combining derived properties and distinct values of property options for counting events in a cohort definition.1) To create a derived property that returns a numeric order of a week in a year, we used the Amplitude property `Server Upload Time` and transformed the timestamp to a week number using the following formula:`Week

Tracking Power / Core / Casual user engagement states over time

Hi,We have defined the following:Power User = fires event A on 5 or more distinct days of the weekCore User = fires event A between 1 and 4 distinct days of the week Casual User = fires event A at least once a month, but not frequently enough to be a Core or Power userDormant User = Has gone more than 30 days without firing event A I am trying to create a chart that has weekly cadence, and shows me how my user population breaks down into these categories over time. Something like below (incorrect definitions used for the screenshot, but just wanted to convey what I envision the final product looking like). Week to week, if a user’s behavior changes, they would be represented in a different category. Which category a user is in for a given week depends only on the behavior they showed during that week (or during the last 30 days relative to that week if we’re talking about Dormant category). I tried using Behavioral Cohorts first, since I know there is an option to use “count in interva

Switching holding constant in funnel analysis

Hi, I want to build a funnel of how users grow the user base by inviting others and if these new users actually finish any action. ImagineUser A creates playlist User A invites new user B to playlist (New User B creates an account) New user B plays song in playlistI can do this by the holding constant of the playlist id, but I would not know if the final play in the playlist is User A, B, or C (should only be user B) in this case.

PROPSUM (and other props formulas) uses unique or total?

Hello there! I am building a dashboard that shows the amount in $$ that we generated and I want to use the PROPSUM formula for that. My business case is that a unique user can generate $$ more than one time, so I need to know if it's safe to use PROPSUM to account for the TOTALS and not Unique.Thanks in advance!!
